Best Indian Restaurants in Portola Valley

Really great experience! I didn’t pay for the food, so I’m not sure about the value. Our server was great, but she forgot a few things which is a little annoying. But overall, I really like her she made our experience better. 

This was our second visit to the restaurant. It is great to finally have a restaurant in the bay area, where the chef understands the authenticity of the Indian food yet put modern touch on the flavors and preparation. Every dish we tried from the dahi kebab to paneer Tikka, Fig and walnut kofta was amazing. Also, this restaurant's service is really good as they don't try to rush you out, but understand the vibe of what's happening on the table and allow conversations among guests to occur and have them savor the food. Kudos to the chef and the service staff we will surely return again.

Wonderfully inventive food - not your traditional Indian restaurant. The the papadam were especially impressive. Slightly haphazard service - made worse by the incredibly high noise level - everybody was shouting to be able to hear one another, which just made it worse. We chose to eat a mix of starter plates, which gave us a rich variety of tastes. But they all arrived at about the same time, so there wasn't space on the table for them., and the experience felt very rushed. Even though we hadn't ordered any mains ("big plates"), the items we ordered that would normally accompany them (naan, raita) were treated as the second course - we had to ask for them to be brought with the rest of the food. We visited in mid November. It was really cold, even though we were sitting indoors - and many fellow diners also kept their coats on, so it wasn't just us..

The service was impeccable for our group and the food was delicious. A bit pricey so I would recommend for special occasions and celebrations.

Tasty food, nice neighborhood spot, many gluten free options
